Reply to comment by glycinedream in Best wood for pantry style shelves in a closet? by glycinedream

Yeah I used this for mine. My pantry is probably a little wider than yours and I ended up using 3/4" ply. Perhaps it was a little overkill but it does not sag when supported from three sides.

Over kill is always better than just good enough. How else will you support Costco size box of *edit corn starch. I mean, she said she needed some and you were being thoughtful when you were there last and you didn't realize she only needed half a cup.

See, that's why when I need curb starch I go out to the road with a broom and dust pan and collect fresh, all natural curb starch.

They never starch the curbs enough around here. Nobody likes a wrinkly curb, but nobody wants to make the effort to starch them properly.

They just don't starch curbs like they used to.

Not overkill at all. I don’t build shelves that aren’t 3/4 ply. Typically just go with poplar but lately sometimes maple is the same price. Seems to change quickly though
